How To Make A Gemstone Stretch Bracelet:
by Jennifer and Kitty O'Neil, Running With Sisters
Have you seen these simple beaded stretch bracelets around? You can wear one or make a few and wear them stacked. We'll show you how much elastic stretch cord to use and how to pre-stretch the Stretch Magic. We'll add the beads using a beading needle. We'll show you how to double thread the bracelet by going back through the beads a second time. Then we'll show you two knots to tie the bracelet: a surgical knot and an overhand knot. We like to add a dab of glue to the knot. Finally we'll show you how to hide the ends of the cut beading cord inside the beads.
MATERIALS
17 Round agate stone beads, aqua, 10mm
5 Crystal spacer beads, gold, 2mm x 6mm
Stretch Magic elastic beading cord, .5mm
Big-eye beading needle
G-S Hypo Cement jeweler’s glue
Bead Bug or masking tape
Scissors
Toothpick
Steps
1. Cut a 20” piece of elastic beading cord. Place a Bead Bug or a piece of masking tape at one end.
2. Thread the big-eye needle with the elastic cord.
3. Feed 6 beads onto the needle and cord.
4. Feed on a crystal spacer bead then an agate stone bead. Repeat this pattern until you have all five spacer beads between agate stone beads.
5. Feed remaining agate stone beads onto the cord.
6. Hold the cord at both ends, and pull to pre-stretch it. Repeat 2 or 3 times.
7. Feed needle back through all the beads starting at the other end.
8. Remove the Bead Bug or masking tape and the needle. Tie the ends of the elastic cord in a surgical knot.
9. To secure, tie a regular overhand knot on top of the surgical knot.
10. To hide the ends, re-thread the needle onto one end and feed it through 2 or 3 beads. Repeat on the other end of the cord.
11. Before trimming the ends of the elastic, pull the beads apart to reveal the knot. Apply glue all the way around the knot.
12. Pull one end of the cord to tug the knot under a bead and hide it.
13. Trim the end of the elastic cord.
To wear the bracelet, roll it on over your wrist. If you have any questions about this bracelet project or any jewelry project, leave us a comment, and we’ll reply. We love hearing from you!
Happy Crafting,
Jennifer & Kitty

Great tutorial, thanks. Just found your channel but already ordered these blue agates a couple of days ago without knowing about this tutorial! I'm not sure about running the stretch cord back through the beads a second time, because how do you (or anyone) know whether you (they) are damaging the first round of cord with the needle going in again? I'd rather double the stretch cord, thread it onto the needle halfway along the cord so the needle only goes through once.

We would recommend trying it out. We've never had trouble with the elastic getting damaged by the beads. Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

Hi Ginny, For a stretch bracelet, we find 7 to 7.25 inches works for a lot of people. If your friend likes to wear a larger bracelet, add a bead or two to lengthen it. Here's a how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ Alternatively, you could make a wrap bracelet. Easy to clasp and easy to wear!

What thickness of string do you use for 10MM 8MM and 6MM IF you don’t want to double thread it? I’m new to this and ordered a massive amount of natural gemstone bracelets, but they are too big. I am so upset that I spent so much and they don’t fit so I want to fix them, BUT this is not my forte. Would LOVE To please know the thickened of string for those 3 sizes or beads.

@TheONeilSisters 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Danielle, So sorry for the delayed response. We've been on summer vacation! The important thing to know for your beads is the hole size. If you ordered them online, the shop should say how big the hole is. Ours are 10mm beads with a 1mm hole, so we can run the .5mm elastic through the hole two times. Here's another tutorial for the Stretch Bracelet: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ Look up your beads online and use elastic that is half the size of the hole. Alternatively, you could string the beads on a different material instead of elastic. Here is a link to a bunch of bracelet how-tos on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/category/craft-how-to/jewelry/bracelets/ Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

This was amazing can I ask what size he your beads are by any chance are they 1mm (hole size)? I bought 0.7mm stretch magic and found the beads were really tight to pass through and ripped the string :( I’ve ordered 0.5mm now but my beads are 8mm with a hole 1mm would that still be okay with the thinner stretch magic as my bracelet popped (LOL) and wasn’t able to double up xx thank you for this video it was so helpful and easy to understand

So sorry you are having trouble with the stretch elastic. We always check the size of the hole in the bead and the size of the elastic cord. We have a newer version of this stretch bracelet on our blog with a new video here: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ We also found a new elastic cord that we think works better. It looks like this: amzn.to/2MBCdZ3 Hope that helps! J&K

@sabrinaownthethrone 3 жыл бұрын

Hey! Are you afraid that the needle may cut/damage the string if I do this? Also, I have only used 1mm because I am afraid of it breaking. I normally use 10mm and 8mm beads. Can I go smaller with the string?

@TheONeilSisters 3 жыл бұрын

Great question HoneyB! The big eye beading needle is actually a fairly soft and flexible wire so it's not really sharp enough to cut the elastic cording. We have had very good luck with .5mm elastic cord. We run it through twice so the beads need a 10mm hole. We have a newer Stretch Bracelet Video you may want to watch too. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8qnqKqe1au7mXU.html We also have the instructions written out on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ Hope that helps!

Question, is it strong to use a 0.5mm cord that's thread through the stretch bracelet twice verses using the 1mm cord once?

@TheONeilSisters 2 жыл бұрын

Great question! We like to thread the 0.5mm cord through twice as a security if the cord breaks. The beads have a better chance of staying on the cording with the second strand running through them. But you can definitely make it with a thicker cord and string it only once. Here's another gemstone stretch bracelet we made with a little different knotting technique: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

What if the holes in the semi-precious stone of choice is not big enough to string the cord back through a second time? Best way to end and secure?

@TheONeilSisters 4 жыл бұрын

Great question! Some semi-precious beads have smaller holes. You can run the cord through once, then tie the ends together with a surgical knot. We like to add a dab of glue to the knot. J&K

When you say bigger size stretch magic, what size range are you suggesting ?

@TheONeilSisters 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Vanessa, We used .5mm Stretch Magic and cut a piece 20 inches. If you want to make the bracelet larger, you would still use the .5mm so it will fit through the beads. But start with a longer piece of Stretch Magic, maybe 25 inches, and add a few beads to increase the size. Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

Why not fold the cord over w the needle so you already have the beads on the doubled cord so you dont have to go though twice ?

@TheONeilSisters 2 жыл бұрын

Great question Jasmine! We go all the way through twice so if the elastic breaks it still goes through the beads a second time. Just a little insurance. Here's a link to another how-to for this type of bracelet: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

@angwise1266 2 жыл бұрын

Why don’t you fold the cord in half and feed the beads through the folded part so you don’t have to go back after threading all your beads again

@TheONeilSisters 2 жыл бұрын

Great question! If you folded the cord and ran it through once, you would end up with a larger knot because you would have to tie the doubled up cord in a knot. By running it thought two times, you only have two ends to tie into a knot.

Great question! You can use any needle which fits through the beads while threaded and that has an eye large enough for the elastic. You also can make this with no needle. The elastic has enough body to feed into the beads. Which just show the needle because it's faster. Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

This is way too much effort. You actually use .8 or 1mm stretch magic spend a little more and get a decent gold or silver spacer with a large opening and tie 3 knots glue and slip in the hole of the spacer. No need for a bead bug or needle.
